The Economic Collapse of 2025 - Are you tired of winning yet?

All because a bunch of miserable faggots wanted everyone else to be miserable too.

The orannge nigger doesn't want to negotiate. Oh wait he said he wants to. Oh wait he said he doesn't want to. Oh now he wants to negotiate again. Nevermind he changed his opinion again.

Trumptard has a tarriff bpd. America can't be trusted at all right now. I guess that's why China said fuck burgerstan.

If you think he's flip flopping thats your issue dumbass, he was clear on day 1 that he is willing to negotiate but if they dont solve the deficit he's throwing them out the door until they come back

Sanctions, you retarded nigger trash

and yet, russia managed to export 3.27 billion dollars of stuff to the us as opposed to 562 million of imports from the US (deficit of 2 billion 708 million)

meanwhile that shit hole land locked country in africa managed to export 237 million dollars of diamonds and tshirts to the us and imported 2.8 million of god only knows what (trade deficit of 234.5 million) and recieved a 50% tarriff.

The real important question here is "HOW MUCH WILL THE SWITCH 2 COST?"

 

[curbside2]

How is the US 'footing the bill', exactly? People repeat this just because Trump says it, but in reality, it's the rest of the world that keeps the US addiction to the printing press, deficits, consumption and borrowing going.

If it’s not an issue then why does China/Canada/Etc feel the need to always tariff more? Reminder this is a reciprocal response.

If this doesn't work out everyone who didn't support this will literally be drinking the blood of the people that supported this. They are aware of this, right?

 

[im5!XxhO]

Midterms will be funny. The Democrats got fucked because the economy got expensive as fuck for the average dude. Trump just picked the same strategy and hoping patriotism will keep people happy. Unlikely to work with the swing voters especially since the promised well paid industry jobs won't appear nearly fast enough.

What are you trying to say with this?

That you are a stupid nigger

It's time to to let ungrateful Europe fend for itself!
Fuck the European Union Globo Homos.
Bankrupt China in the process. Start tapping Alaska for all the resources we need.
The caribou love to warm themselves next to those beautiful pipelines!

I agree but I don't know why we're kicking Israel and Japan's asses. Just stop giving Israel money, that's good enough. And they're both strategically important in the regions to my knowledge, it'd probably be good not to grind them into dust, especially Japan which is a good vassal state ally already floundering.

Unironically yeah, I can’t stress in words how bad this is for them.

I just hope he's ready for whatever fallout there's gonna be, I don't know geopolitics or economic theory well enough to anticipate consequences.

This has literally already been happening, it's risky sure but because previous admins DID NOT implement smart tariffs to protect our industries during the advent of the world trade organization middle america has been repeatedly fucked and has had their jobs taken for decades, they've gotten poorer while the elite get richer due to offshoring. It is risky I can admit that, but i dont fucking care id rather a huge gamble backfire than continue for everything to slowly get worse while no one does anything to even try to fix it. Like ffs it's only been 2 generations since the WTO was introduced and america has lost 80% of it's manufacturing industry. Look no further than the rust belt to see that globalization has not been the middle classes friend.

Here’s the reality, you don’t rebuild a 21st century industrial base with 20th century tools like blanket tariffs. It’s not that the idea of rebuilding is wrong, it’s that the method being proposed is the economic equivalent of trying to do heart surgery with a sledgehammer.

Tariffs might help if you already had the infrastructure, workforce, supply chains, and long-term capital investment in place. But America doesn’t. We’ve got rusted factories, an aging workforce with outdated skills, and supply chains that are deeply globalized. Re-onshoring isn’t just “put up a factory and hire some dudes.” It’s a 10 to 15 year national industrial strategy involving education, tech adoption, logistics revamps, and massive investment, not just slapping China with a 104% rage tax and hoping jobs materialize.

Plus, even if tariffs pushed companies to reshore, they’d automate the shit out of those jobs. You think they’re hiring 10,000 people to make toasters? Nah, they’re installing robot arms and hiring 40 engineers in Austin.

So yeah I get it, the anger’s real. The decline’s real. But betting the future on high stakes, kneejerk tariffs instead of crafting a serious, long-term national industrial policy is just economic LARPing. It feels good in the short term, but it won’t bring the factories back.

You don’t fix 30 years of economic rot with a trade war. fix it with a national plan, boring, expensive, long-term, and real.

 

[Meiwaku]

Why tariff Taiwan, Korea, and Japan at all? Those countries are necessary to containing China and are rich enough to play both sides. They're not like Canada when they have to accept US vassalage.

They have tariffs on us.

Also I'm sure a lot of it is to get them to play ball.

Japan will definitely come and play ball with the US. Taiwan too. Korea they need to export kpop and diy cosmetic surgery so they're likely in too.

 

[Baroque]

Luckily it’s all just temporary unrest until the markets and the rest of the world can just get off their duff and say thank you to the US—then everything will click into place and manufacturing will return and the markets will shoot through the roof and go higher than you’ve ever imagined so start planning that vacation boy! YES!

 

[Tenebrous Calamity]

But what if I don't want your shit grade beef.

Also, USA has a beef production deficit at the moment. You are literally not even making enough for yourselves. Australia has a beef surplus, ~70% is exported. Why would a country export a product that it can't make enough of it. Why would another country buy a product that is mixed in with product from other countries (USA beef supply is mixed in with Canadian and Mexican beef).

It is stupid that politicians want to blame another country for their own fuck ups. Improve your food industries.

This genius realizes that a deflationary spiral is exactly what happened to Japan during the "Lost Decade" which they never recovered from, right? A deflationary spiral is what perpetuated the Great Depression for so long. Deflation is a very, very dangerous tool. If it's mismanaged just a little, it can destroy your economy.

I couldn't agree more. I just hope for our sake that I'm wrong.

This response demonstrates how very little you understand about how economics works.

I always get whiplash on the rare occasions that I venture away from the US Politics general thread and am reminded that not everyone on KF is Ultra MAGA. Interesting posts in this thread.

Even if this backfires badly it's funny so I support it
